Mounting Samba shares in Bionicpup64 (Solved)

[WoodLark]

I am trying to access a USB drive connected to my router.

In xenialpup64, I can add the following line to my fstab file, and it works:

Code: Select all

//192.168.1.1/Downloads /shares/Downloads cifs guest,uid=0,gid=0,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm  0 0 

However, in Bionicpup64, the same line results in the message "Host is down".

I have tried adding "vers=x.0" at the end of line trying 1,2, and 3 as values for x. It made no difference.

(I did create the needed directories.)

Adding "vers=1.0" is the solution. However, I had entered it incorrectly in /etc/fstab.

For anyone else who might be dealing with this issue, here is the code that works:

Code: Select all

//192.168.1.1/Downloads /shares/Downloads cifs guest,uid=0,gid=0,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm,vers=1.0  0 0
